This 62-Year-Old Snowboarder Is Living Life to the Fullest

For Slovakian retiree Milos Kmetko, age is just a number. Unlike other people his age, the 62-year-old prefers to spend his time shredding the slopes or learning something new at the skatepark. “I cannot imagine that I will be sitting home or gardening like [a] typical retiree.” In this short by filmmaker Patrik Paulinyi, Kmetko shares his philosophy for staying young and shows off some of his impressive snowboarding skills.

The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the world and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic's belief in the power of science, exploration, and storytelling to change the world. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of National Geographic Partners.
